Warning! WhatsApp Just Changed its Terms and Condition; Read and Be Informed

The recent WhatsApp update has nothing to do with the type of mobile you have, or the application's need to for system update. It's about the latest update on the popular messaging apps terms and condition of use. Previously, the company announced that messages in the WhatsApp application are end-to-end encrypted and yes, they remain true to that commitment.

However, the latest new on the WhatsApp Update on its terms and conditions has something to do with the user's mobile number being shared on Facebook. Now before you panic, take note that WhatsApp will not publicly expose your number on the social media page, but rather, it will privately rollout numbers in order for the media site to users better friend suggestions and fitting advertisements.

Apparently, WhatsApp's move to share user mobile numbers on Facebook, is a shared commitment for business to target their moving customers, instead of reaching those that aren't concern with specific products. The idea of sharing your number in a social media site is a scary notion, but the latest WhatsApp update is firm that all other personal information are kept safe and messages and calls are limited to the user-recipient only.

One of the main purpose of the WhatsApp update is to avoid third party apps reaching the user's mobile number in a risky way. For example, instead of airlines and personal banks trying to contact the user for certain concerns, WhatsApp wants to consolidate these actions by being the only call and messaging app to deliver these concerns using a single method and platform.

But for them to be able to do that, they need to change the terms and conditions of the application in order to inform users of their plans and eventual use of their numbers on Facebook.
